KASAI – FALL WINTER 2025-26 – SAMPLE COLLECTION
The Collection
Essential Blocks AdKasai’s Fall Winter 2025/2026 collection explores the reality of being a woman in a society that imposes rules on how to dress, behave and exist in the world. We are expected to wear clothes to be taken seriously, to conform in spaces still dominated by male expectations.
This collection mixes masculine elements – structured suits, tailored trousers – with elements of corsetry, fluid dresses and feminine draping, blending them with the recognisable cut-outs that are part of the brand’s DNA.
Using high-quality materials from silk to virgin wool, the collection is presented as a visual and emotional
journey towards inner balance: the fusion of yin and yang. Kasai aims to inspire women to reclaim their power, redefine their strength and wear their duality with pridevanced Heading
The Brand

Kasai was created to empower women to embrace and express their femininity through bold, carefully crafted designs. Each collection is a tribute to the strength, grace and beauty of women, and celebrates their ability to inspire and transform the world around them.
ABOUT THE BRAND
KASAI was founded by Ana Olingheru, a passionate designer based in Bucharest with a vision expanded through her experience in Milan, a global center of fashion and creativity.
Kasai was born from a moment of deep spiritual connection. During meditation, the name Kasai was whispered into existence — an intuitive message that led to a powerful discovery. Kasai is also the name of a region in Africa where children have been exploited in the diamond trade. This revelation became the foundation of the brand’s mission: to create meaningful fashion that not only empowers women but also stands against injustice and exploitation.
Rooted in spirituality, emotional depth, and artistic expression, Kasai exists as a form of resistance: a high-end womenswear brand that dares to slow down in a fast-paced world. With a strong anti–fast fashion stance, every piece is carefully designed and crafted in limited quantities using only the finest natural Italian fabrics. The production process is intentionally slow, aligning with the brand’s core philosophy: crafted slowly, worn timelessly.
Kasai is more than a fashion label: it’s a movement toward conscious creation.
Each collection is a meditation on the divine feminine, a story told through bold silhouettes, refined textures, and emotional resonance. It is a tribute to the strength, grace, and beauty of women, celebrating their ability to inspire and transform the world around them.
By merging art, ethics, and sustainability, Kasai invites women to not only wear beauty, but to embody purpose.
